Principles<\/h2>\n
The main principle of this solution is that all the involved components,
\nincluding the stylesheet, are PHP components that will be interpreted by the web
\nserver before being offered to the user. All the involved components will
\ntherefore be named with a .php<\/code> file extension but the visual
\nconfiguration one that will use a .inc<\/code> extension (include PHP
\nfile).
Illustrating this article requires the creation of three files: <\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  1. The CSS stylesheet stylesheet.css.php<\/code> file that is a normal
    \n CSS stylesheet but including some PHP code. For that reason, and although the
    \n .css<\/code> extension is kept, the file is named as a PHP file. For some
    \n reason that I don’t know yet, this type of filename containing two dots can
    \n cause some problems on some operating systems. If so, simply change the
    \n filename from stylesheet.css.php<\/code> to
    \n stylesheetcss.php<\/code>. <\/li>\n
  2. The visual configuration visuals.inc<\/code> file that will contain
    \n the visual configuration parameters as an array of key-value pairs (similar to
    \n the WINDOWS INI file way). This file is being included in the CSS stylesheet
    \n in order to make the visual configuration parameters available to the
    \n stylesheet. <\/li>\n
  3. The index index.php<\/code> file that is our test file and will
    \n mainly contain HTML code using the styles defined in the stylesheet. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
    To avoid any confusion, those three files are assumed to be stored in the
    \nsame directory. The location of this directory is not important as long as it is
    \nlocated somewhere under the root of your web server. Let’s move on to the
    \ndefinition of the visuals.inc<\/code> file. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
